Lyrics

I tried to tell you for so long that this was coming
I wrote the warnings in the songs that I was strumming
Instead you look up to the sky for signs and wonders
While the ground beneath gives way and takes you under

I tried to tell you that disaster was impending
I haunted you with messages that I was sending
But now you take your place among those who are sleeping
While those who love you gnash their teeth while they are weeping

My eyes are red and tears are falling down my face
I am the shadow that you cast in your disgrace
You think that everything I do is just to spite you
But you make war with everything that isn't like you

I'm in the darkness standing right outside your window
You shut me out with all your fear and guilt and sorrow
Still I persist to seek you out in your denial
But you're convinced that somehow I've become your rival

My eyes are red and tears are falling down my face
I am the shadow that you cast in your disgrace
You think that everything I do is just to spite you
But you make war with everything that isn't like you

Baptize them all in the river
Baptize them all in the river
Into the light you are delivered
Baptize them all in the river

My eyes are red and tears are falling down my face
I am the shadow that you cast in your disgrace
You think that everything I do is just to spite you
But you make war with everything that isn't like you

Baptize them all in the river
Baptize them all in the river
Death's not a taker, she's a giver
Baptize them all
